From fantastic EV lease deals to manufacturer profit (and loss), on this week’s podcast we look at the realities of the EV market and what it means for the makers and the buyers. The question is, what’s the financial sweet spot for car buyers, and can automakers hit those targets without going out of business. Furthermore, what does this mean for government regulation when it comes to electrification? We dive in.
